I was looking at NU teams and thought of a really good Minior set. I then tried to improve it by combining it with Smogon's own suggestion and thought, Let's build a team! So I did.
Feel free to suggest roles or other mons.

The Team:

Minior @ White Herb
Ability: Shields Down
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Shell Smash
- Acrobatics
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake

Ah, Minior. The 'mon that this team was based around. It should come in late-battle to set up with Shell Smash and physically sweep (which it does surprisingly well at!).

Omastar (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Shell Armor
EVs: 248 HP / 236 Def / 24 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stealth Rock
- Spikes
- Scald
- Ice Beam

This is my entry hazard support for Minior. It has a STAB move in scald and a decent other move in ice beam for tight situations as well as a counter to supereffective grass and ground types. It normally is my lead.

Braviary @ Leftovers
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 172 HP / 252 SpD / 84 Spe
Careful Nature
- Bulk Up
- Brave Bird
- Defog
- Roost

This is a good entry hazard remover. It also has a decent STAB with a set up move and a healing move, countering the recoil on Brave Bird.

Drapion (F) @ Shuca Berry
Ability: Sniper
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Knock Off
- Earthquake
- Poison Jab

This is a counter to some strong Pokemon with Swords Dance and the amazing moves. It also is able to knock off items such as Eviolites and berries.

Uxie @ Mental Herb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 116 Def / 140 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Memento
- Psychic

This is the Pokemon that should deal some damage and then either U-Turn or Memento into Minior. It is also an extra Knock Off user.

Rhydon @ Assault Vest
Ability: Lightning Rod
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Ice Punch
- Earthquake
- Protect
- Swords Dance

Finally, Rhydon. This is the spot that was hardest for me to choose. It is just a good Pokemon in general. It has a STAB move in Earthquake and a setup move in Swords Dance along with other good moves.

Rhydon could be replaced with Exploud or Clawitzer but I chose not to because I find Rhydon covers the rest of the team better. Who should I put in this last slot?
Other than that, I hope you enjoyed the team! Bye!

Welcome to Smogon! I'm locking your RMT for the time being as the forum rules require that you provide in-depth descriptions for each Pokemon to explain their roles. Please read the rules carefully and take a look at Team Showcase to see the level of detail we require. PM me with updated descriptions and I'll be happy to unlock this.
